CHICAGO — Authorities in Chicago are asking for help in the search for a teen boy who officers say has been missing for two weeks and may be in need of medication.
According to Chicago police, 17-year-old Malachi Carter, who has been missing since, Saturday, Oct. 19, was last seen in the 4800 block of West Van Buren Street, in Austin, on the city’s West Side.
Carter, who stands 5-foot-10 and weighs around 170 pounds, has black hair and brown eyes.
Chicago police notified the public about the teen’s disappearance in a news release that was sent out on Friday afternoon but did not provide details on what he was last seen wearing.
A photo provided by Chicago police shows the teen wearing black glasses, but it is unclear if he was wearing them at the time of his disappearance.
Officers said the missing teen may be in need of medication, but did not provide specific details about why.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of 17-year-old Malachi Carter is asked to contact the CPD Area Four SVU at 312-746-8251 or dial 911.
